The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge returned to Victoria, British Columbia, Canada on Sept. 29, 2016 for a children's party and meeting with local families. The government house hosted the event and among those attending were several local military families. Three-year-old Prince George and his sister, one-year-old Princess Charlotte attended the event with their parents. The event took place in a garden decorated with flowers, balloons, bubbles and mini-horses. (Published Friday, Sept. 30, 2016)

Princess Charlotte took her first steps in public on Thursday as she and brother Prince George played in a children's party with Prince William and Kate.

The 1-year-old Charlotte immediately bee-lined for some colorful balloons before heading to the petting zoo for some time with the goats, sheep, rabbits and miniature horses.

He said George asked for a spider, which he'd never had to make before, but he used a penguin body and added eight legs.

"The volcano was an interesting trip, too. (Prince George) asked for a volcano. He was very proud to tell me all about volcanos. I started making it, I said 'I'll put orange and red fire from it,' and he said 'And that's lava.'"

"We both kind of acknowledged the fact that regardless of where you are looking, one eye is always kind of focused on your children," he said. "So to see that side of the Royal Family was great. It was absolutely amazing."

Asked if they mentioned whether George and Charlotte were enjoying themselves, Andrew said: "They did. They said they were having a great time, absolutely. They enjoy where they are staying here. They love Victoria. The weather's fantastic."
